Armada Declivity 82 Ti

This one is the 182, creates a 16.4 meter turn radius, so that is kind of on the shorter side, definitely likes to link those GS shaped turns together...

This particular ski is definitely aimed at your frontside guy, somebody that wants a pure carving oriented ski. At 82 underfoot this thing is super qu...

I just got off the Armada Declivity 82 Ti. This thing is tons of fun on the frontside. Carving machine

The Declivity 82 is really, really good and a really good choice.

I am in the same position as you abs I was looking at all the same skis. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Armada Declivity 92ti. Could not be happier.

Sounds like armada declivity 88C would be something to consider. Light and fun at slow speeds, stable carver, short and long turns, great all around ski.

Speaking from experience, you will adjust to the ski, but unless you take tons of lessons, I don't think you'll get to a point where you find the ski great for bumps.

I second the ripstick 88 suggestion and maybe Armada Declivity 88c.

However, for our heavy, wet snow I generally recommend something around 105-110 and with a heavier build to be the optimum everyday ski, especially for Whistler. In your case though, given you already have the Bents, I'd suggest adding a narrower damp ski for those icy days. Top choices for you would be the Blizzard Brahma 82, Armada Declivity 82 Ti, or Elan Wingman 82 Ti. Or slightly wider with the Wingman 86 Ti, Brahma 88, or Volkl Kendo 88.

Otherwise, if you want a directional all-mountain ski, go narrow (under 90mm) since you're strictly on piste. Declivity 82 Ti, Atomic Maverick 88 Ti, Elan Wingman 82 Ti, Kendo 88, Enforcer 88, Brahma 82, something like that. Kendo, Enforcer, Brahma are on the heavier damper side, Maverick Declivity Wingman a bit lighter and snappier.
